One of my favorite models from Cartier...

Hi Robin,

thanks for sharing some beautiful photos or your LC Tank XL. I love, non-round dress watches. Several of my daily wear pieces are steel and round so it feels a bit special to put on something that is both different in shape and color. For me the Cartier Tank is the quintessential rectangular watch. I love its very minimalist lines. Its clean, simple, and yet so elegant.

I have the prior Tank XL model that was part of the CPCP, and I adore it. Its a little smaller than yours in overall size, a little thicker (not an ultra thin), a different dial, and it always manages to put a smile on my face. Both are great and if I didn't already have one, I'd definitely buy an ultra thin like yours.

Below are a few pix of your watch's older sibling (sorry my photography skills are a bit lacking).

Best regards and keep enjoying your Tank,

Dino

Some macro shots of my Cartier Tank Louis Cartier XL Extra Flat

Following on Fx's wonder reviews of various Cartier watches in rose gold (my favorite metal), I am inspired to share some macro shots I took of my Cartier Tank Louis Cartier XL. The dial looks "normal" until you look closer at it. It has a shimmering effe...

Thanks for sharing, Robin. You're absolutely right, the Tank, like the Reverso's are very "quiet" and truly embrace the "less is more" attitude! Again, a lovely watch and looks great on your wrist. Richard

Thank you Richard!

Glad you like the Tank LC too :) Agree it does remind me of Reversos being very simple and pure yet full of class Cheers Robin

Great pics Robin!

Actually I like yours better for the beautiful guilloche dial and the size (my main complaint on the Tank LC XL is the size as I have small wrist). Took me awhile but in the end I accepted the size and it grew on me (especially after I shortened the strap...

Hi Robin, Thank you for the kind words about my CPCP Tank XL. I'm a big fan of Tanks. It is such beautiful design, that never looks dated. They look as good now as they did almost 100 years ago. Wishing you many years of enjoyment with your Tank XL. Best ...
